What is it made from and how big is it?

Thanks, TheWoodCrafter

I used a particle board sheet. As far as size, I suppose you can do it what ever size you want. About the only thing I did do special was that I bought that rubber paint that goes in your wheel well on a car. It keeps the heli from sliding around. I built this for a 450-500 size heli. It will work on a 600, but will hang off more.

if you ever come this way ..try our field ..Sierra Foothills R/C Fliers ..we are north of sacramento.. .. fun fly this week end ..most planks though ..but helis are ok..

I fly at Fairview occasionally. There is a small core group of guys who typically fly Saturday mornings and sometimes Sunday. Nice guys...

The field is pretty restrictive however in terms of size and getting pushed by the glider folks and pedestrians on the footpath that cuts between the plank section and heli area. The local club (Harbor Soaring Society) does actually work with us heli folks and there are now three new picnic tables there for setup, etc. If you join the HSS, you then have access to the electric panel. That is worth the $20 or so.

The field used to look a bit better, but the city began cutting it back for use as overflow parking for local events in the summer, now it is a pretty sparse looking field.
